Abstract
The cowslip (Primula veris L., Primulaceae) is a distylous perennial plant with a self-incompatibility system making it an obligate outbreeder. It is found in threatened grassland habitats that are becoming increasingly frag- mented. Microsatellite discovery was performed using next generation sequence technologies. We present 13 novel microsatellite markers that have been optimised for P. veris. The loci show clear polymorphic banding patterns, exhib- iting between 2 and 12 alleles, with observed heterozygosity values ranging from 0.296 to 0.889. These markers will facilitate the assessment of genetic diversity and population structure of P. veris populations.
